Fingerprint biometrics are never secure. You leave your fingerprint lying around on literally every object you touch. Indeed, a working copy of your fingerprint "key" is probably already on the fingerprint scanner itself. All that's needed to activate it is a little graphite dust, a piece of transparent plastic/tape, and some body heat.
+P Yeah I don't really care about that when I need a small lock to use at the gym.. This sounds exactly like something I would buy for that. But this one is beyond stupid
It depends how shady your gym is. Your average person won't feel comfortable taking apart a lock while other people watch, though that can be bypassed by social engineering ("yeah my lock is broken so I just screw and unscrew it every time, funny right?"). I generally just leave all my stuff in a cubby hole with no lock anyway :P

I only started watching these a couple of months ago, but find myself absolutely outraged (as if I had any skill to assess these) by poorly designed locks now. Thanks LPL for completely shattering my worldview.
they had to know that actual lock is junk no product that has even basic engineering applied would overlook these glaring flaws. They wanted to see if he could crack the reader or at least demonstrate it and then place it in a proper lock housing.
I wonder if the guts can be harvested and used for other non security related tasks since it appears to have some sort of actuator, I'd love to build something cool just to have a fingerprint activated feature of some type
it looks nice. and you could do someting with it for sure. But there is the FPM10A, for about 10 $. That will also deal with all fingerprinting for you.
You don't even need to bother with this lock, those are straight up lifted ( i am within 70% certain) off an Arduino platform going by the behavior of the "UI". This whole lock probably costs about 7 to 9 dollars to make in China, Shenzhen.
+aserta i don't think I can make an arduino set up as small as the lock besides why change what already works plus I'm sure I can find it or something close somewhere dirt cheap from China
+Bear the Great Naaa she's still pissed about that time I told her I locked the bathroom door and hung a Bogota and tension wrench from the knob and recorded her trying to open it, it was pretty funny until she stuck the bogota in my shoulder, good times best part the door wasn't even locked!
Making the case and shackle of material you can easily break with a hammer, or probably with the heel of your tennis shoe, is right up there in the running.
it is actually very easy to explain - it must be cheap, there - explained, no effort was exerted into making it safe, all of it was in reducing the cost, by the looks of it, it would cost probably less than 5$ to make, rest is profit for manufacturer and amazon, 50$ shelf price... the ones buying these things deserve to be ripped off
At least they used a mildly rare screw drive. Not everyone has a pile of Torx screwdrivers lying around.. Then again, I own a couple of security screwdriver bit sets myself.
Not really, granted this lock IS crap, i have one that works just fine for what i bought it for.(to lock up my stuff at the gym and not need to carry my keys with me) which works very well. One time it died and locked me out (yes it sucked) but the gym had a portable power bank for that specific reason due to a lot of us going keyless for the same reasons. So if used for small things its great...but for serious security i hope common sense would tell people this is a bad idea....
But you need the fingerprint of the original owner to reset it, so it's not of much use stolen. That is if there's no other easy possibility to reset it.
I can imagine the makers of this lock watching this video thinking: "Ok, guys! Let's see what he thinks of our design and of our GREAT print reading software on which we've spent months developing !! Ha ha ha, he's going to be impressed !!" 4:32 - "You can see a number of screws ..." "Ok, the screws ... so what? ... he couldn't get passed our AMAZING software! Ha ha ha !!!" 5:11 - "You can just lift the top off ... and the shackle opens !" " ... Aaahh Shit ... We really got screwed on this one !!"
“You’ll never make money legally by learning how to pick locks” “You’ll never make any money legally by learning how to hack” Proof that we need these skills to better our defenses against the bad people with these skills
Darius Clark the point of the comment was to point out that people view these skills as bad, when really they can be used to strengthen our security against those will ill intent
Seems more of a proof of concept. Since it works as shown, imagine what the company can do with a much bigger stronger design that doesn't have screws you can access from the outside.
Thing is you'd need some sort of mechanical backup at that point in case the power dies while it's still locking something if you can't open it directly to unlock it. So you'd have a possible point of exploitation there.
Depends in how crafty your children are. I disassembled and reassembled the family microwave when I was 3, and I'm sure I wasn't the only toddler too clever for my own good.
I would still use this to secure like a duffel bag at the gym with nothing really expensive inside of it because it’s more convenient than carrying a key, if I got it for free. 😄
I think it's reasonable for deterring attacks of opportunity on things like that. Not many people are going to be carrying around a T5 driver, and anyone who really wants in can always just steal the bag or cut it anyway, so a more resistant lock is pointless. This just adds a legitimate convenience to that niche application.
Barely deterring thieves... but with the added excitement of maybe setting your backpack/suitcase on fire due to the lithium battery. 🎒 🔋 🔥 Count me in 👍🏻👍🏻
The lock seems weak, at best, but one way to improve it would be to remove each screw, put a drop of good epoxy on it, then screw it back in. At least the screws would be somewhat tamper resistant.
@@Trialnerror Just make 1 additional screw only accessible through the hole of the shackle when the lock is open... like many actually secure locks have.
You have to consider the point of a lock like this. It´s something you might put on a drawer in a desk or something. A slight deterrent that doesn´t get in the way. Not something noone can get into.
Bought one of these for my husbands grandfather. He was too unsteady to use a key or a combination but wanted to keep his shed locked. All it did was keep the honest honest but he was happy so why not.
A quick fix for the screw issue is to use screws with a straight slot and angles on the slot face so they can only be screwed in and not out. They are commonly used on house window locks. Another fix would be to round out the T5 screwdriver slot using a countersink drill. Funny how the engineers didn't think of that LOL!
Another easy fix would be fo just weld the lock body shut. The battery is rechargeable so there's no inherent need too open it up after the initial assembly
I can see some use for it. I used to work at a place where we had lockers that weren't very secure to begin with but the lock was sort of what we did to say "this is my locker" rather than a security measure, this lock seems really easy to use and you don't have to worry about forgetting your keys. We never kept anything important in those lockers, just work clothes that were handed out by the company to begin with and stuff like that. I don't know if I would have paid the price for this lock, but I'd say it's a matter of how much you're willing to pay to get rid of minor inconveniences in your daily life.
Very curious. Manufacturer's principles must have had a meeting, in which they concluded, "No key hole; we got this guy. SHIP IT!" [Very confident, they decide to make pacemakers next. 😨]
My life in electronics changed when I started using magnetic tip screwdrivers! I have a few fingerprint access toys left over from my 30 years in the access business. I retired a year ago. Getting through an automatic gate for me is equally amazing as your ability to open any lock. I was on a big military base & shocked the security chief when I got through their most secure gate with an itty bitty screwdriver in less than 30 seconds! The ONLY gate in the world that can truly keep people out is one guarded by several humans. PERIOD! Don't get me started on how easy chain link fence is to bypass...
I think people tend to forget one thing about security, nothing is meant to keep you out, what its meant to do is slow you down getting in, i dont care what lock he shows saying its unpickable, theres always a way around the lock, just more destructive, slower or louder electric gate opener is more of a convenience, than a security feature as ive been able to make automatic gates open, with magnets, code scanners and brute forcing the electronics for the opener causing it to just go through a cycle and open chain link fences are always trivial to get through, they arent supposed to be a permanent install as honestly any pair of bolt or wire cutters tends to be able to breeze right through them.
even though this was easily defeated I do appreciate when company's send him locks so they can improve on it and makes me want to buy their stuff more for appreciating their transparency
Someone... someone in the process of planning, designing and manufacturing this thing must have seen the... erm ... how do I put it politely? THE F*CKING SCREWS ACCESSIBLE FROM THE OUTSIDE!
Not a bad luggage lock. You can just drill the torqx round and make it tamper proof, so that you have to destroy the lock in order to open it. You have good info. Thank you.
“Times out” after what, exactly? According to the video, the only requirement is pressing it down for 10 seconds. ;) Obvious question was left unanswered in this video.
times out as in after you hold it down for 10 sec do you only have like 10 more sec to use a print to reset it. or will it just stay on the red light untill its wiped

What if it runs out of battery while it's locking something . Luckily, the manufacturer thought ahead and made it extra ez to break.
I suspect the lock will pop open when the battery runs out while locked.
dbijenhof that’s a horrible idea
this lock already is, popping open when out of battery is just what's missing :-D
@@poofsplix2003 I know, I was being sarcastic :-) Seeing how bad this lock already is, popping open when out of battery would be within the realm of expectations :-D
If the battery runs out don't worry you can use a screwdriver to open it.
This is genius.
"Hey is our lock good?"
"Idk send it to LPL and just watch"
surprising it took a youtuber to fix a security issue as big as this
@@johnnyfrankenstein0123 yeah a toddler could have honestly told them that for free. But despite that the thing was so flimsy one single hammer to it would completely shatter it to pieces. So if they fix the screw issue they would probably still have the shit quality issue.
He is the last person I would send a lock to be reviewed and shown to the world how simple it is to open.
You gotta appreciate the company sending it in. How else will companies improve their security without someone showing you how to break it? That's why other companies hire pen testers so they can see the flaws in their servers.
But of course, the screwdriver should have been obvious lol
Yeah but did they really need this guy to show it? The thing has fking screws right out on the outside of it and could easily be taken apart. If you need someone to tell you that obvious flaws...you shouldn't be making any security devices....PERIOD. People like that should head back to school to get their GED or something...

Master lock: whoa whoa! You don't want to do that

LPL: **Unscrews the case off**
Me: 👁👄👁
"wot?"
Lmao the emoji got me. This is exactly what I was thinking too
It would've been really easy to smash or pry apart too with that housing tho

Same reaction 🤣🤣🤣
LOL, I bet they regret sending that to you.
What were they thinking? Haven't they ever watched any of LPL's videos? They need a new marketing person or better yet, new design engineers.
They prolly said something like "send this to some RUclipsrs" and the marketing guy just searched "lock" and sent a bunch of them.
It is not even a decent lock, the flaws are massive, the architects that played engineer for a day did no research on how to make the lock secure.
You don't understand the world I think. This IS advetirtisement and while Master Lock probably doesn't like LPL "advertisng" them, this lock is unique and the company needs to show they even exist. Sending it to a youtuber with 90k followers is a big reach!
Robert D that's exactly what I was thinking... Free exposure for a novelty item.
A finger print lock!? Oh the possibilities! *after watching the video*.... every possibility missed!
Fingerprint biometrics are never secure.
You leave your fingerprint lying around on literally every object you touch. Indeed, a working copy of your fingerprint "key" is probably already on the fingerprint scanner itself. All that's needed to activate it is a little graphite dust, a piece of transparent plastic/tape, and some body heat.
+P Yeah I don't really care about that when I need a small lock to use at the gym.. This sounds exactly like something I would buy for that. But this one is beyond stupid
It depends how shady your gym is. Your average person won't feel comfortable taking apart a lock while other people watch, though that can be bypassed by social engineering ("yeah my lock is broken so I just screw and unscrew it every time, funny right?"). I generally just leave all my stuff in a cubby hole with no lock anyway :P
quosmo1 you vastly overestimate the squeemishnes of thieves who go after gymbags :p

Wow, when the title said screwdriver I assumed weak assembly or just jimming the weak parts. Blown away at screw access from the outside.
But then that’s why they asked for a review I guess.

WOW, a three screw combination.
I find the best defense against thieves isn't a good lock, but just being dead broke.

3rd degree, at least!
they had to know that actual lock is junk no product that has even basic engineering applied would overlook these glaring flaws. They wanted to see if he could crack the reader or at least demonstrate it and then place it in a proper lock housing.
“a downright egregious design flaw”
Company: Ouch!!
I wonder if the guts can be harvested and used for other non security related tasks since it appears to have some sort of actuator, I'd love to build something cool just to have a fingerprint activated feature of some type
Mudsuitable you can buy similar lock from China for around $30 or a fingerprint reader module for 15 bucks, both incl. shipping. See banggood.com
it looks nice. and you could do someting with it for sure. But there is the FPM10A, for about 10 $. That will also deal with all fingerprinting for you.
You don't even need to bother with this lock, those are straight up lifted ( i am within 70% certain) off an Arduino platform going by the behavior of the "UI". This whole lock probably costs about 7 to 9 dollars to make in China, Shenzhen.
+aserta i don't think I can make an arduino set up as small as the lock besides why change what already works plus I'm sure I can find it or something close somewhere dirt cheap from China
+Bear the Great Naaa she's still pissed about that time I told her I locked the bathroom door and hung a Bogota and tension wrench from the knob and recorded her trying to open it, it was pretty funny until she stuck the bogota in my shoulder, good times best part the door wasn't even locked!
That’s a “keeps honest people honest” lock
Even honest people would enjoy gaff messing with that one
I actually bought this lock and you can hack it using USB.
But I think the lawyer's method is much faster. A screwdriver
this was my first thought
I can hack it with a hack saw too
@Cipheiz true but I was making a joke about the fact it's called a *hack* saw
lol of course, add some tech and now it's susceptible to hacking
you hacked the lock with a USB. mkay.
That kind of security is something my dear mom would have designed.
The design to place the screws on the outside is mind-bending inexplicable.
Making the case and shackle of material you can easily break with a hammer, or probably with the heel of your tennis shoe, is right up there in the running.
Babby's first lock design
it is actually very easy to explain - it must be cheap, there - explained, no effort was exerted into making it safe, all of it was in reducing the cost, by the looks of it, it would cost probably less than 5$ to make, rest is profit for manufacturer and amazon, 50$ shelf price... the ones buying these things deserve to be ripped off
At least they used a mildly rare screw drive. Not everyone has a pile of Torx screwdrivers lying around..
Then again, I own a couple of security screwdriver bit sets myself.
When he opened the lock sound of silence starts playing for the company
cricket noises hahahah
A lock that you have charge. Seems like a terrible idea
Not really, granted this lock IS crap, i have one that works just fine for what i bought it for.(to lock up my stuff at the gym and not need to carry my keys with me) which works very well. One time it died and locked me out (yes it sucked) but the gym had a portable power bank for that specific reason due to a lot of us going keyless for the same reasons. So if used for small things its great...but for serious security i hope common sense would tell people this is a bad idea....
@@wizkid8686 lmfao combination locks?
Actually they thought that through, it has a backup option - you can just just unscrew it.
"To" ché (edited)
You just have to carry a screwdriver instead of a key

Well if there's a glaring fault I'm glad he'd say something instead of letting it go
it was supposed to be a joke lol
Problem is, even if used to secure things without much value at all, the lock itself is probably marketable enough to get stolen ...
Clearly, a candidate for this year's Ignoble in the Forgotten Goals category.
...and to get stolen again and again and...
But you need the fingerprint of the original owner to reset it, so it's not of much use stolen. That is if there's no other easy possibility to reset it.
@@Wrrayn Oh. You mean I've to get his finger(s)?😕. Ok, could be a problem🤔. I think my pincers are somewhere....
Why would anyone steal a lock that fails for its only purpose of securing something?
That magnet is really satisfying to watch as it holds the screws while LPL’s busy unscrewing its buddies

A lock is just to keep an honest man honest. Nice lock.
That's very nicely put, sir.
lock companies are real bold to send their products to someone who has made a living off of opening locks in an embarrassingly short amount of time
Seems more of a proof of concept. Since it works as shown, imagine what the company can do with a much bigger stronger design that doesn't have screws you can access from the outside.
Thing is you'd need some sort of mechanical backup at that point in case the power dies while it's still locking something if you can't open it directly to unlock it. So you'd have a possible point of exploitation there.
Only use I can think of is for child-proofing cabinets honestly.
Depends in how crafty your children are. I disassembled and reassembled the family microwave when I was 3, and I'm sure I wasn't the only toddler too clever for my own good.
Alex Thompson good point. Might be a good application for red loctite 🙂
or a tig welder.
I can use a screw and a screw driver for that, honestly.
Children are outstanding burglars. This wouldn't last too long in that application.
I would still use this to secure like a duffel bag at the gym with nothing really expensive inside of it because it’s more convenient than carrying a key, if I got it for free. 😄
might not work after a shower
I think it's reasonable for deterring attacks of opportunity on things like that. Not many people are going to be carrying around a T5 driver, and anyone who really wants in can always just steal the bag or cut it anyway, so a more resistant lock is pointless. This just adds a legitimate convenience to that niche application.
Dream Services International basically it keeps honest people honest
You might find your duffel bag cut and the lock has been stolen.
pen will open the zipper
"And now let's wait some minutes before it charges up..."
It obviously didn't happen but the thought of it makes me laugh.😂
Barely deterring thieves... but with the added excitement of maybe setting your backpack/suitcase on fire due to the lithium battery.
🎒 🔋 🔥 Count me in 👍🏻👍🏻
Most battery’s have lithium in them
The lock seems weak, at best, but one way to improve it would be to remove each screw, put a drop of good epoxy on it, then screw it back in. At least the screws would be somewhat tamper resistant.
Even easier and more effective, drill out the torx heads with a small bit.
@@Trialnerror Just make 1 additional screw only accessible through the hole of the shackle when the lock is open... like many actually secure locks have.
You have to consider the point of a lock like this. It´s something you might put on a drawer in a desk or something. A slight deterrent that doesn´t get in the way. Not something noone can get into.
Doesn't matter, you could open this with a solid yank or whack it with a schoolbook/hammer.

If your pouring with sweat then yes but for a fingerprint reader to work you do have to have naturally moist hands for it to read the print

@MyFenceBroke XD
Bought one of these for my husbands grandfather. He was too unsteady to use a key or a combination but wanted to keep his shed locked. All it did was keep the honest honest but he was happy so why not.
A quick fix for the screw issue is to use screws with a straight slot and angles on the slot face so they can only be screwed in and not out. They are commonly used on house window locks. Another fix would be to round out the T5 screwdriver slot using a countersink drill. Funny how the engineers didn't think of that LOL!
Another easy fix would be fo just weld the lock body shut. The battery is rechargeable so there's no inherent need too open it up after the initial assembly
I can see some use for it.
I used to work at a place where we had lockers that weren't very secure to begin with but the lock was sort of what we did to say "this is my locker" rather than a security measure, this lock seems really easy to use and you don't have to worry about forgetting your keys.
We never kept anything important in those lockers, just work clothes that were handed out by the company to begin with and stuff like that.
I don't know if I would have paid the price for this lock, but I'd say it's a matter of how much you're willing to pay to get rid of minor inconveniences in your daily life.
That design is right up there with installing your front door lock with the screws on the outside.
Nice to see honest reviews of products
Why oh why do lock manufacturers send locks to this guy so he can humiliate them?

2019:"Need to charge the battery on my lock"
My life in electronics changed when I started using magnetic tip screwdrivers! I have a few fingerprint access toys left over from my 30 years in the access business. I retired a year ago.
Getting through an automatic gate for me is equally amazing as your ability to open any lock. I was on a big military base & shocked the security chief when I got through their most secure gate with an itty bitty screwdriver in less than 30 seconds!
The ONLY gate in the world that can
truly keep people out is one guarded by several humans. PERIOD!
Don't get me started on how easy chain link fence is to bypass...
I think people tend to forget one thing about security, nothing is meant to keep you out, what its meant to do is slow you down getting in, i dont care what lock he shows saying its unpickable, theres always a way around the lock, just more destructive, slower or louder
electric gate opener is more of a convenience, than a security feature as ive been able to make automatic gates open, with magnets, code scanners and brute forcing the electronics for the opener causing it to just go through a cycle and open
chain link fences are always trivial to get through, they arent supposed to be a permanent install as honestly any pair of bolt or wire cutters tends to be able to breeze right through them.
The manufacturer is regretting the decision to mail that one out
gsneff yep
My thought also
even though this was easily defeated I do appreciate when company's send him locks so they can improve on it and makes me want to buy their stuff more for appreciating their transparency
So they sent their lock to a lockpick to review it. They got some balls on them, I'll give 'em that.

Could a hacker press shackle for 10 seconds then when the owner uses thumb he would unknowingly factory reset? Or does it time out quickly?
That's such a good question... if I ever buy one, I'll tell ya ;)
beth sargent - my guess is it probably times out after 10 seconds but just a guess
“Times out” after what, exactly? According to the video, the only requirement is pressing it down for 10 seconds. ;) Obvious question was left unanswered in this video.
times out as in after you hold it down for 10 sec do you only have like 10 more sec to use a print to reset it. or will it just stay on the red light untill its wiped
GeeCO Enterprise - that’s what I am asking, one of us is gonna have to find one of these and try it
